James King: Supermodel. 1995. Cibachrome print. 40,5 x 50,8 cm. Signed by the photographer in felt-tip pen on the verso.

Nan Goldin’s “James King: Supermodel” series offers an intimate and unvarnished portrayal of teenage model Jaime (James) King, who rose to prominence in the mid-1990s - a transitional period between the supermodel era and the emergence of the “heroin chic” aesthetic. At just sixteen, King navigated the complex and often toxic world of fashion, characterized by unattainable beauty standards, an obsession with youth, and the glamorization of drug use. Goldin’s candid photographs resist romanticizing this environment, instead highlighting the emotional toll and psychological complexities of growing up in a world where innocence is often sacrificed for fame and glamour. – Some light scuff marks, otherwise in excellent condition.

Kee in Bed, East Hampton N.Y. 1988. Cibachrome print. 27 x 39 cm (30,5 x 40,5 cm). Signed by the photographer in felt-tip pen and annotated by another hand on verso.

Nan Goldin's work explores themes surrounding the LGBT community, intimacy, the HIV crisis, and the opioid epidemic. Her seminal work, "The Ballad of Sexual Dependency" (1986), which includes this image, serves as a poignant documentation of post-Stonewall gay subculture, intertwined with intimate portrayals of Goldin's family and friends. Often compared to Diane Arbus and Larry Clark, Goldin's style embraces the informal, content-driven aesthetic of the snapshot, with a focus on capturing private dramas in interior settings such as cluttered kitchens, downtown bars, and disheveled beds. Notably, her adept use of color serves as a catalyst for accentuating the emotional essence of each moment. Goldin resides and works in New York City, Berlin and Paris. – Some minimal scuff marks, otherwise in excellent condition.
